Slicing through traffic jams (safely filtering!) is one of the benefits of being a motorcyclist, along with jumping to the head of the queue at temporary traffic lights.

That said, roadworks or an incident on a planned route or your best ride may ruin a good ride out, so we have provided a link to our sister site www.trafficeye.co.uk which provides at-a-glance, real-time traffic information for the UK!
